This anthology draws from a wide range of canonical, unusual, erotic, amusing, and politically pertinent poetry from all over the world spanning some 15 centuries. This latest edition includes new notes and exercises, and has a freshly designed, learning-friendly format that makes it more relevant and accessible to students of poetry in Southern Africa.
🌟This is a collection of some of the most famous and brilliant poems in the world, but that's not all...
🌟This book starts off with the history of the English Language. I found it extremely interesting to see where and how the English language originated. It also has a section on how to interpret and analyse poetry.
🌟Along with the most brilliant poems I've ever read there are short histories of each poet featured in this book.
🌟Lastly (and yes I know this book is for students and it makes sense for it to be included in this book, but it was extremely helpful in my case), there are supporting notes as well as foot notes for most of the poems featured in this book.
This book is perfect for anyone who wants to learn to understand poems in general and study them in depth.
